The farmer fed the cattle coffee fruit.

In order to continue the hadith of his Majesty King Bhumibol of the ninth century, to encourage the mountain people of Chiang Rai to grow coffee instead of opium poppy, and to show the public the value of cattle, the teacher of Chiang Rai Vocational College developed cow shit coffee. He thought that since there is Kopi Luwak, why can't there be cow shit coffee?

This is the first time that Thailand has launched cow shit coffee. The idea was put forward by Surashi, head of the Department of Art and Technology of Chiang Lai Vocational College. He said in an interview, "I am an art teacher. I must be creative and create value for society. I have been teaching students the teachings of his Majesty the Ninth King, and taking students to various communities in Chiang Lai to learn about history and local culture. One of them learned that Kopi Luwak, although as high as 30, 000 baht per kilogram, is still popular with consumers, which is why I thought of cow shit coffee. "

Cow shit coffee fruit will be stored for 1 year.

Dare you drink cow shit coffee? Ten thousand baht per kilogram

Surashi said that he mixed the high-quality coffee fruit with the rainbean tree fruit to make food for the cattle to eat, and after the steak defecated, he hired villagers to collect cow shit and divide the coffee fruit at a wage of 100 baht per kilogram, which can increase the income of the villages. after getting the coffee fruit, wash and peel it, then store it for a year to make the coffee beans more fragrant before roasting. When I tasted cow shit coffee for the first time, it tasted a little bitter and sour, but it was not astringent, and the sour taste soon turned into a refreshing sweetness, which can be said to be a new taste, and those villagers who usually don't like coffee also feel good after tasting it.

The mountain people separate the coffee from the cow shit.

Surashi pointed out that although this is not a funny thing, many people can't help laughing at the idea, but when the research and development is successful, many feel very good and are interested in commercializing the idea. Although cow shit coffee is priced at 10,000 baht per kilogram, some customers are willing to buy it, while others want to buy patents. He hopes that government agencies will invest in research and development to promote cow shit coffee in Thailand and abroad. Recently, clients from Belgium and London have come to inspect the project and negotiate the business.
